Winter is coming. And that can only mean one thing: it’s time to break out our favorite winter nail colors. And cold weather. So fine, it means two things. Counting is hard in negative temps.

But just because you don’t leave your home between November and April, it doesn’t mean you have to stare at the walls watching the paint dry all day. After your fifth game of Go Fish, watch the paint on your nails dry instead!

These winter polish colors go with every frosty season activity, from baking Christmas cookies to trying to ice skate for the first time. While they won’t keep you warm, they will serve as a distraction for when you fall on the ice and crash into an entire family.

Those little kid hockey players are such menaces.

19 Winter Nail Colors to Try This Season

1. OPI in Lincoln Park After Dark

We’ll let you in on a secret: you can wear “Lincoln Park After Dark” anytime, even during the day. Rules are meant to be broken. Unless you’re a vampire.
Available on Amazon

2. Essie Nail Polish in Wicked

Something wicked this way comes, and it’s…Essie’s blood red nail polish. What were you expecting? A werewolf?
Available on Amazon

3. Butter London in Brolly

Finally, you can finally match your nail polish to your brolly. Which, if you’re unfamiliar, means “umbrella” in British and Australian. Your move, Rihanna.
Available on Amazon
Winter Nail Colors - Butter London in Brolly

 

4. Londontown Lakur in Pearl

Move over diamonds. We’ve decided that pearls are a girl’s best friend. But who needs best friends when you have this shimmery nail polish? Well, still us. We made way too much lasagna to have a dinner party for one.
Available on Ulta
Winter Nail Colors - Londontown Lakur in Pearl

 

5. Ella + Mila Nail Polish in Island Hopping

Sick of the cold weather? Teleport to Bermuda with Ella + Mila’s “Island Hopping.” Concentrate real hard so you end up on land instead of the middle of the ocean. Maybe bring a floaty just in case.
Available on Amazon

6. Zoya Nail Lacquer in Jen

Consider us royally dazzled by this royal blue nail polish shade. The ghost of Marie Antoinette, is that you? Hey look, cake!

7. Cirque Colors Holographic Nail Polish in Subculture

You won’t be able to stop staring at this rainbow holographic polish. Seriously. It’s been three days. Send help.
Available on Amazon
Winter Nail Colors - Cirque Colors in Subculture

 

8. ILNP Metallic Nail Polish in Mirage

Unfortunately, Mirage by ILNP isn’t actually made of real gold. You’ll have to find another get rich quick scheme. We’ve heard good things about the lottery.
Available on Amazon
Winter Nail Colors - ILNP in Mirage

 

9. Sally Hansen Miracle Gel in Shine Bright Like a Menorah

This shimmery teal color is guaranteed to help you win the dreidel game. But if you don’t, at least your nails will look better than the other guy’s. Petty? Who, us?
Available on Ulta

10. China Glaze in Head to Taupe

This gray-brown color from China Glaze looks good on everyone, from your BFF to your boyfriend’s dog. His pet toad might be the one exception.
Available on Amazon

11. Orly Nail Lacquer in Nebula

The best part about Orly’s “Nebula” polish? You don’t even have to travel to space to get it. It’s available on Amazon, no spacesuit required. Sorry, spacesuit. See you at Halloween.
Available on Amazon
Winter Nail Colors - Orly in Nebula

 

12. Habit Cosmetics Nail Polish in Santa Sangre

We just found out that “Sangre” means “blood” in Spanish. Uh-oh. Are presents canceled this year?
Available on Amazon

13. Essie in Set in Stone

Feel like a million bucks with this chunky silver glitter shade from Essie. And if a million bucks is more than just a feeling for you, could you spot us twenty?
Available on Amazon
Winter Nail Colors - Essie in Set in Stone

 

14. Deborah Lippmann Gel Lab Pro Nail Polish in Love Hangover

While we’re not exactly sure what a love hangover is, we do know that this Deborah Lippmann shade is the perfect plum mauve crème. We also know that there’s a bear behind you. Run!
Available on Amazon
Winter Nail Colors - Deborah Lippmann Gel Lab Pro Nail Polish in Love Hangover

 

15. Morgan Taylor in Good Gossip

We’re pretty sure this nail polish is what Taylor Swift is referring to when she said “I can still make the whole place shimmer.” We’d love access to her glitter stash.
Available on Amazon
Winter Nail Colors - Morgan Taylor in Good Gossip

 

16. Deborah Lippmann Gel Lab Pro Nail Polish in Grey Day

Why rely on the latest mood ring technology, when you could skip the middleman and just paint your nails accordingly? Clearly we’re having a super duper winter.
Available on Amazon
Winter Nail Colors - Deborah Lippmann Gel Lab Pro Nail Polish in Grey Day

 

17. Essie in Penny Talk

We think Abe Lincoln would approve of Essie’s “Penny Talk.” Being relegated to the smallest value coin? That he might take issue with.

Winter Nail Colors - Essie in Penny Talk

 

18. Dazzle Dry in Less is Mauve

You can still totally wear pink, even in winter. Just pick up a bottle of “Less is Mauve” to match your rosy cheeks. Avoid white though. Those snow plows are ruthless.
Available on Amazon
Winter Nail Colors - Dazzle Dry in Less is Mauve

 

19. OPI Infinite Shine in Linger Over Coffee

We’re not sure if this OPI shade actually has caffeine in it. But take it from us, this nail polish pairs well with a pumpkin cookie caramel maple spice peppermint latte. Or whatever the new drink at Starbucks is.
